Megger S1-568 Insulation Resistance Tester

This part of IEC 61010 specifies general safety requirements for the following types of electrical equipment and their accessories, wherever they are intended to be used. a) Electrical test and measurement equipment This is equipment which by electromagnetic means tests, measures, indicates or records one or more electrical or physical quantities, also non-measuring equipment such as signal generators, measurement standards, power supplies for laboratory use, transducers, transmitters, etc. (NOTE 1) This includes bench-top power supplies intended to aid a testing or measuring operation on another piece of equipment. Power supplies intended to power equipment are within the scope of IEC 61558 (see 1.1.2 h)). This standard also applies to test equipment integrated into manufacturing processes and intended for testing manufactured devices. (NOTE 2) Manufacturing test equipment is likely to be installed adjacent to and interconnected with industrial machinery in this application. b) Electrical industrial process-control equipment This is equipment which controls one or more output quantities to specific values, with each value determined by manual setting, by local or remote programming, or by one or more input variables. c) Electrical laboratory equipment This is equipment which measures, indicates, monitors, inspects or analyses materials, or is used to prepare materials, and includes in vitro diagnostic (IVD) equipment. This equipment may also be used in areas other than laboratories; examples include self- test IVD equipment to be used in the home and inspection equipment to be used to check people or material during transportation.

IEC 61326 (EN 61326) is an international EMC standard developed to regulate the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of electrical devices, specifically laboratory equipment. IEC 61326 applies to equipment developed for test and measurement and used in control or laboratory applications. The standard lists requirements for EMC testing, which include radiated susceptibility, conducted susceptibility, radiated emissions and conducted emissions tests. EN 61326 is an equivalent standard that applies to the European Union. IEC 61326 is divided into several parts: IEC 61326-1 | General testing requirements IEC 61326-2-1 | Requirements specific to sensitive test equipment in EMC unprotected testing IEC 61326-2-2 | Requirements for monitoring equipment utilized in low-voltage distribution systems IEC 61326-2-3 | Requirements for transducers with remote or integrated signal conditioning IEC 61326-2-4 | Requirements for insulation monitoring devices per IEC 61557-8 and insulation fault location per IEC 61557-9 IEC 61326-2-5 | Requirements for field devices with IEC 61784-1, CP 3/2 compliant field devices IEC 61326-3-1 | Immunity requirements for functional safety; limited to equipment designed for safety functions in industrial applications as specified by IEC 61508 with SIL 1-3 Buy Standard
